Keel's Simple Diary

To be honest, I'm really not one to keep a diary.  Keel's Simple Diaries however caught my attention. Maybe because my nearest and dearest have called me "Keel" for short for as long as I can remember, or maybe just because I have read others rave reviews on them. I didn't realize that its a "fill in" journal. A few quirky things to fill in and circle each day on every page would take a maximum of 2 minutes. M and I both bought them and look forward to filling them in each night, they're pretty silly, and I think it will be fun for us to look back on, they would also make a great gift!

I got mine at Barnes and Noble if you are looking for one.  Are any of you keeping a Keel's Simple Diary?
